El texto, publicado por primera vez con la versión original tzotzil, da testimonio de la fe y las creencias populares de la comunidad de San Juan Chamula. Contiene extensas reflexiones sobre la condición humana, la espiritualidad y el orden moral, según los entiende Xun Méndez Tzotzek, chamula sensible e inteligente. La narración empieza con el relato sobre la creación del universo a partir de la nada primordial. La deidad Sol/Cristo organiza la …

In this collection of essays, the author, whose field work in the area spans two generations of anthropological thought, explores several expressions of Tzotzil ethnic affirmation, ranging from oral narrative to ritual drama and polit…
Cuatro mundos del hombre: Tiempo e historia entre los chamulas
I. Es un lugar común creer que los pueblos tradicionales, es decir, los pueblos ágrafos como los indígenas de México, no tienen un concepto ni correcto ni objetivo de su propia histor1a. Este punto de vista predomina a través del espectro ideológico y político, y va desde ciertos historiadores conservadores, que opinan que mientras no tenga un pueblo una crónica escrita no puede contar con un registro adecuado de su historia, hasta los marxistas,…

Maya Zapatistas Move to the Ancient Future
SThis essay assesses recent events pertaining to the Maya Zapatista movement in light of the Mesoamerican past and present. Persistent patterns of Maya world construction, group and personal identity, and political legitimacy form the conceptual core of the movement, expressing themes that have been well documented for some 2,000 years in Maya cultural history. The essay concludes with suggestions as to the new forms that pan-Maya ethnic affirmat…

Chamulas in the world of the sun: Time and space in a Maya oral tradition
The oral tradition of the Chamula people in southern Mexico is rich and varied. Descendents of the Ancient Maya, the Chamulas use language in a special way that expresses their understanding of the social and cosmic order to which they belong. In this innovative study in anthropology and folkore, Gary Gossen offers a brilliant analysis of the cosmology, symbollism, and verbal behavior of the Chamulas.

Chamula Genres of Verbal Behavior
THE PRINCIPAL PURPOSE of this paper is to present a brief taxonomy of Chamula folk genres of verbal behavior. This will contribute some substantive data to what is becoming increasingly well known: that European genre labels are often inadequate for description of non-Western oral traditions. Secondly, I will suggest that the whole domain of Chamula verbal behavior offers more opportunities for context-conscious interpretation of the meaning of o…
